Between a Opty 165/X2 3800 overclocked with 3GB of RAM compared to a Core 2 Duo E1240/E6300 overclocked with 2GB of RAM? (Keeping in mind it will be a PITA removing the mobo and backplate.)
Also how much does Vista improve with 3GB compared to 1.5? Gaming doesn't really happen anymore, and I don't care how fast it is to calculate Pi. I want my PC to be fast and responsive for web browsing, loading iTunes, photoshop work, (and I am trying to get into 3dsmax [which when the time comes to render, will be done overnight.])
Thanks.
